She waits,
through a moment where time
crawls — tentacles of kudzu creep
under fences, bricks disintegrate
on a vacant building, trash
accumulates in alleys, no one
notices as death cheats closer —
and everything hangs
in the balance.
Nothing is said as words become
an amalgam of gravel and glue
in my mouth. She waits,
then turns away.
